Abortion is legal in South Africa up to
twenty weeks after pregnancy and it is
00:11:35
provided for free at government run clinics
getting a safe abortion now ever is
00:11:42
a challenge many women face harsh stigma
for seeking terminations and in some cases
00:11:48
their existence from health
workers who oppose abortion as
00:11:53
a result more more than half of all
South African abortions and up to being
00:11:58
performed by unlicensed backstreet providers
in the mining town of Rustenburg and
00:12:05
surrounding areas the problem has gotten
so dire that the aid group Doctors Without
00:12:11
Borders has set up a special clinic
to address the issue the always
00:12:16
a need to Powell reports from the area
precious as she has asked us to call her is
00:12:22
sixteen weeks pregnant and so is her best
friend my Preciouses boyfriend that event
00:12:28
turned her life upside down and brought
her to the difficult decision to seek an
00:12:32
abortion. But when she tried to get an
abortion in her home city of Johannesburg
00:12:37
she ran into problems. I
want to apportion and.
00:12:44
In doing. It through Mrs and the outer
one said Oh things caught on my train
00:12:51
for days while I don't
know like you have to go.
00:13:01
In the. Room is like I'm in. Against God
00:13:07
then God must die hers is
00:13:11
a common experience and it's what
reproductive health advocates say drives ten
00:13:15
thousand South African women to seek
illegal and sometimes deadly back street
00:13:19
abortions every year rather than risk death
precious chose to travel to Rustenburg
00:13:25
where aid agency Doctors
Without Borders has set up
00:13:27
a free abortion clinic because of this
very problem. Clearly who has the Doctors
00:13:34
Without Borders project in Rustenburg says
demand for the clinic services is high
00:13:39
he estimates he performs as many as one
hundred first trimester abortions each
00:13:43
month and says he sees women from as far
away as Botswana where abortion is illegal
00:13:48
he actually began his career delivering
babies but switched course and says he's
00:13:53
proud of his decision I look back why did
I get myself into this profession as I
00:13:57
want to be alcohol because I want
to help people and then you see
00:14:00
a gapping like this is part of health
care services and. If no one is doing it
00:14:05
somebody has to do it and I enjoy I enjoy
people Russian partners Krista Tom Ellis
00:14:10
has been performing abortions for
00:14:12
a decade and says she is proud of her
work she says she thinks some of her
00:14:16
colleagues are contributing to the stigma
of abortion and worse if you can't have
00:14:20
a patient as
00:14:21
a man is just as if it is planned to that
I live in this so that the person must
00:14:26
get done just tell her no I can't do that
or I can't help you and give the presents
00:14:32
under this way to end up into the bogus
because when you leave this on the margins
00:14:37
as well as of this the rest is good that
it's that she says that keeps her going
00:14:42
through the judgment through the tears
through the difficult stories she hears day
00:14:46
in and day out. Because she says whether
people agree with her work we're not she's
00:14:52
saving women's lives and following the
law and you know when you say Rustenburg

more reforms to make agriculture area
business one is the structure it's
00:17:41
too small an average so it's very difficult
to increase the productivity of the

land and if you had
bigger plots you could.
00:17:53
Improve the second thing is. A big
problem because most of the property is
00:17:59
tradition no it's not going registries.
Very difficult to plan to use that land as
00:18:05
a grantee to. Try and then to
increase and to increase the year
00:18:12
olds and it's very difficult to also
restructure the land into those bigger plugs I

country's weak economy may says as she looks
to the future she can't help but think
00:25:05
of the past era during Sudan's independence
when there was vigor and enthusiasm for
00:25:10
a new country emotions that are represented
by the old flag in Sudan we see so much
00:25:16
tribalism and so many things divide us like
politics religion. But the flag kind of
00:25:23
embodies the culture of Sudanese people
which I think is being hospitable being
00:25:29
loving being welcoming and really standing
to those values as Sudanese people and
00:25:34
seeing our flag as just
00:25:35
a message that says despite everything
else we are all one the Sudan flag
00:25:41
represents that and Sudan is just Sudanese
people currently during this revolution
00:25:47
were all the same Sudanese American
Abdel more Nam says the old flag also
00:25:51
symbolizes
00:25:52
a long struggle for an independent country
which he says paid off great at the
00:25:58
history of time he done was the Sudan at
the time where in the best of all good
00:26:03
condition good economic of all country.
Paul Isabelle regime was good but no
00:26:10
Everything has been destroyed we are going
to remember that history for several
00:26:14

Sudan have been calling on Bashir to step

problem because most of the property is

Very difficult to plan to use that land as

increase and to increase the year

Diaspora gathered on the steps of the

Over the weekend to add their voice to

white and black striped flag with

a green triangle others carried the country's
former official flag used well before
00:22:27
Sudanese President Omar lot of Bashir came
to power I and then be your describes
00:22:33
why Sudan's form our flag is popping up
again at protests. From one thousand nine
00:22:39
hundred fifty six to nine hundred seventy
Sudan's blue yellow and green striped
00:22:44
flag flew throughout the
country to symbolize
00:22:47
a new and independent
Sudan that flag is making
00:22:50
a resurgence in the latest round of
protests around the country and outside its
00:22:55
borders twenty eight year old British
Sudanese to ask from member and protester
00:23:00
mentor explains why some both them and
dependents. From colonial home I have had to
00:23:07
ponder Egyptian colonial rule and it
will once again service the symbol for
00:23:11
independence from this current regime for
most of us that's what it symbolizes for
00:23:15
most of us that grew up in the dictatorship
were born and raised with the sharing
00:23:20
power we didn't know Saddam before
the Saddam but that's it and for
00:23:24
a lot of our parents symbolizes a better
set out a synonymous Holcombe potential
00:23:28
a city that was really the middle ground
of Africa by United are about I mean
00:23:35
African mountain unfortunate when this
regime came that was shot at but now we're
00:23:40
seeing that happen again
and for a lot of us in
00:23:42
a lot of the years back to Saddam we
want to see the demonstrations in Sudan
00:23:46
continue more than three months after
protesters took to the streets for high bread
00:23:51
and fuel cost last week hundreds of
protesters in Khartoum challenge to Cher's
00:23:57
three decade rule during protests led
by students Reuters news agency reports
00:24:02
police used tear gas to disperse the
demonstrators multiple reports say Sudan
00:24:08
sentenced six protesters to jail today
and find each of them fifteen hundred
00:24:13
Sudanese pounds for taking part in yesterday's
demonstrations protestors have been
00:24:18
defiant since Bashir declared
00:24:20
a national emergency in late February
Sudanese American Mohammad McDuck says he has
00:24:26
been inspired by his people in Sudan I
realize in this whole Look here only for
00:24:30
Washington D.C.
00:24:31
Here we are living actually for the
people inside the country instead of the
00:24:36
country the people they're protesting
they're all young between twenty and thirty
00:24:41
five and this is significantly. There's
00:24:45
a new you know the youngest people the
born in the era so that's telling us
00:24:50
a lot many of those young people have only
known Sudan to be ruled by one president
00:24:55
and some including Sudanese diaspora member
Wafa may Elimimian blame Bashir for the
00:25:00
country's weak economy may says as she looks
to the future she can't help but think
00:25:05
of the past era during Sudan's independence
when there was vigor and enthusiasm for
00:25:10
a new country emotions that are represented
by the old flag in Sudan we see so much
00:25:16
tribalism and so many things divide us like
politics religion. But the flag kind of
00:25:23
embodies the culture of Sudanese people
which I think is being hospitable being
00:25:29
loving being welcoming and really standing
to those values as Sudanese people and
00:25:34
seeing our flag as just
00:25:35
a message that says despite everything
else we are all one the Sudan flag
00:25:41
represents that and Sudan is just Sudanese
people currently during this revolution
00:25:47
were all the same Sudanese American
Abdel more Nam says the old flag also
00:25:51
symbolizes
00:25:52
a long struggle for an independent country
which he says paid off great at the
00:25:58
history of time he done was the Sudan at
the time where in the best of all good
00:26:03
condition good economic of all country.
Paul Isabelle regime was good but no
00:26:10
Everything has been destroyed we are going
to remember that history for several
